Whoopee! An update! Unfortunately, no one PM'ed me. Boo. (Except for Olymian1999) But, I have come to save the day with a GREAT chapter! Voila! Now read! Oh, and sorry if Percy is a little OOC here. SORRY!

PERCY'S POV

A long oak plank came clattering onto the sand. Hesitantly, we all (Including Cammi) board the large boat. I lightly ran my fingers against the hull as we walked inside. However, once we go under deck, it suddenly becomes cramped. My arm brushes against Annabeth's, and I blush.

"So, how do we get this thing moving-," Cammi asks but suddenly we lurch forward in the water and the motors churn beneath us. We all clamber above deck. Stretching out in front of us for miles is water. Mist sprays our face, and I'm instantly calm.

Seth plops down on a plush white chair and groans. "I am exauhsted. When is this quest OVER?" I sigh.

"Whenever you want it to be, Seth. Just jump in the water and we'll ALL be happy," I murmur, and Lilly giggles.

He closes his eyes and starts to softly snore. "Thank Gods," Annabeth says. I sit down on a tan couch.

"So, what do we do once we get to the middle of the Pacific Ocean? I mean, the Pacific Ocean, is, well, an Ocean!" Cammi asks. I ponder for a minute.

"Who knows. I think I'll just feel it in my gut. Let's just play it by ear." Annabeth snuggles under my arm and quickly falls asleep. I shift comfortably, ready to settle down for a while. After 3 hours and 20 fish tasting cookies (yeck!), Annabeth yawns and wakes up. She runs her fingers through her hair, trying to calm it down.

The sun is resting on the water, a gigantic ball of fiery pink. "Beautiful," Annabeth says. Seth is awake also and kicks his feet up on the other chair. "So. We almost there?"

"No, Seth. No. Just stop asking, okay?" I say. As the sun dips below our view, the boat groans to a stop and we come crashing forward. My body slams into Seth's and he slides before tumbling off the side. "NO!" I scream. Going against gravity somehow, I plunge into the icy cold water.

It hits me like shards of glass. I swish my head around, searching. Seth is floating down into the depths of the Ocean. I will my body to go deeper and faster, knowing Seth can't take the pressure. His body is mere feet from mine, showing that he's unconscious.

I strain my fingers closer….closer…. and then I feel flesh in my hand. I turn my body around and start lugging him through the water. The surface is straight ahead, and the sleek, wooden bottom of the S.S. Angello is sitting on it.

If I don't get Seth up into the air, he'd die. And even if he IS an annoying perv, he still needs to live. Finally, finally, FINALLY I feel warm air on my palm, and then on my face. I heave Seth over my shoulder, sack o' potatoes style. I push him on deck, then clamber on.

I'm completely dry and breathing normal, but Seth is drenched, and has laboring breaths. His body goes up, down, up, down, shaking. We wrap a blanket around his body. "You ok?" Cammi asks, squatting to his level.

Seth sits up a little. "Yeah, fine. Probably could have made it without Percy." He turns to me.

"Jackson, I TOTALLY could have made it without you. I mean, you only made me struggle more. I was already swimming up to the surface, when he comes and just pushes me down! I finally decided to just let him carry me up, so HE could look like the hero. Pretty courageous, huh?" Cammi giggles.

I snap. "I can't BELIEVE YOU! It was ALL ME! YOU WOULD HAVE DIED IF I HADN'T SAVED YOUR SORRY ASS! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP! STOP LIEING AND JUST GET OUT OF OUR WAY!"

Everybody is silent, and lightning crackles above us. The gods don't like it when we curse. "Oh great. A storm. Let's all get below deck, so we can get some sleep." I grumble.

"Wait, Percy," Annabeth stops me. "Don't you think there's a reason we came crashing forward?" I freeze. "This is it. We've reached Calypso." I say.

.

After we recover from the answer, we search around the boat and find flashlights, scuba gear, and enough food to last us 2 days. As we're changing into our scuba gear, Annabeth has trouble getting her flippers on. She hop around, then crash into a dresser, sending a lamp flying.

"Ow! OHMIGOD OW!" She flop onto my bed. I just sigh as I wrap her foot with bandage. "Kiss it and make it better." I laughs and kiss her foot. "Oh Gods," she say as I pull her face closer to mine and kiss her on the lips.

"Break it up, lovebirds. We got to get in the water!" Seth pushes us apart. All of us walk to the edge of the boat, sounding like Dark Vadar. "Ready-pant-guys-pant?" They nod and we jump into the water.

The scuba shirt immediately sticks to my skin tightly, keeping me warm. I click on my flashlight. The light washes over jagged rocks, and groups of sea life scatter. I lead the way deeper and deeper, going past where any one could survive. Our flashlights flicker over everything, making sure it's safe.

After 2 hours of diving, we come to the bottom of the Ocean. The smooth sand fills my flippers , and 50 or so sea horses come up to me, nipping affectionately at my feet. I swish them away.

Right in front of us is a deep, black cave is sitting, seemingly lifeless. "Well…" I say. "Let's just…go in." Glancing up, all we see is blackness. Hesitantly we swim through the mouth of the cave. Instantly, a thick rock slides in front of it, sealing it off and cloaking us in darkness.

We swim along, feeling our way through. Eventually, a fork in the road comes our way. "Left or right?" Cammi asks. "Right," Annabeth says. "Left," I say. "Right!" She says. "Left!" I say, louder.

Cammi sides with her. "Yeah, right is probably, well, right." She says. Seth immediately agrees. "Yes! Right!" I groan. "UGH! FINE! Right it is!" Continuing on the right path, a small, dim light comes into view. "Come on!" I swim faster, flapping my feet.

The light comes closer and closer, until it's a large crack with light flooding through. We tear away the rock, crumbling as we destroy. We break it all, and in front of us is a large city bustling with life.

Two female mermaids hurry past, giggling into their hands. They have aqua tails with flecks of silver in. A starfish serves as a clip for them. Off to the side, a small coral table has a merman and mermaid eating shellfish and chatting. The mermaid has her tail glittered and her hair is blonde with corkscrew curls.

Annabeth stares at the merman. I scoff. "I have better abs." I mutter. She snaps out of it and blushes scarlet red. We swim along, trying to stay out of their way. They stare, wondering what type of creatures we are. I can't blame them. I glance behind me, and suddenly I come crashing into some one (For what, the 3rd time?) and fall to the ground.

I blink up to see a very large merman with a short curly beard and tan skin. His blue tail swishes back and forth, almost wacking some passerby. He offers his hand and I accept it.

"Who are you? You aren't merfolk! Come with me immediately!" His gruff voice rings in the small space. He whips out a conch shell and blows it. In about 5 seconds, 4 guards come and handcuff us all with-suprisingly strong- kelp.

They take us down 10 narrow hallways, then take 2 sharp left turns until we reach a gargantun room big enough to fit about 30 elephants. There is a platform, and a humongous throne is seated on it. More jewels than I could count were embedded into the seat, and the man I bumped into rushes to a smaller, yet still large chair next to the throne. A large throne fit for a queen is next to the huge one, velvet covering it and pearls lining it.

We get placed right in front of the platform and they take off our handcuffs and tie our feet to the ground. A merwoman arrives. "ALL RISE FOR KING HERON AND HIS LOVELY WIFE, MERRONA!"

An enormous man enters the room, with a goatee and long grey hair. His muscles flex as he swims, and his eyes are hard and cold. A scowl plays on his lips. Behind him is a gorgeous woman with beautiful black hair, stunning hazel eyes, and a purple and gold tail.

Her lips are dark red, and her blue eye shadow goes with her eyes. She swims with confidence, her head held high. Once they sit, a small crowd of merfolk sit in risers behind us.

"WHY am I sitting here, when I am late for poker? WHAT is so important?" His gaze lands on us. "Who are these people?" He spat.

"W-well, sir, we do n-not know. They just ran i-i-into me." The other man spoke up.

"Ahhh. I see. WHY ARE YOU HERE?" King Heron boomed.

"We are demi-gods, sir. We've come to see if Calypso is here?" Annabeth says. He glowers.

"You demi-gods. YES, OF COURSE WE HAVE CALYPSO! Why do you want her?"

"Well, her safety is important to all of us, and she went missing, so we were sent to find her."

Merrona smiles. "Interesting. Now, what would we get for her?" Heron whips his head to her.

"BE QUIET! I WANT HER!" I get angered.

"Do NOT treat your wife like that! Give her respect!" I take out Riptide. "HA! A PEN? WHAT, ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME INK POISONING?" The crowd behind us chuckles.

"No. But I WILL do something else." I uncap it, and suddenly I'm holding my sword. I lean down and slice off our restraints, and we swim as fast as we can. I grab Cammi and Annabeth's hand, with Seth holding Cammi's, and we propel forward.

I hear guards chasing after us, so I speed it up. It's like the Labrynth, twisting and turning, and your lost before you know it. I turn right, go straight, go left, left again, then wind up in front of Calypso's cell.

She's sitting on a hard white bed with her head against the wall. Cupped in her hands is a single calli-lilly. When we arrive, her face cracks into a grin that spreads across her whole face. She hops up, her long braids swinging.

Calypso's pretty white dress is dirty and torn in places. I slice the lock, and she rushes out and hugs me. "Oh Percy! You DID come back! Oh, how I've missed you. At last, my hero has arrived!"

I blush. "Yeah. I did. Come on, Calypso. We've got to go." Annabeth narrows her eyes. "So. You two have met. Lovely."

SO! WHAT DID YOU THINK? Review and tell me what you liked about it, or didn't like, anything. Maybe next chapter, SOME ONE will PM me. If not, you'll just have to deal with my ideas. Exciting, huh? So, again. REVIEW! Please? :) Oh, and who were you rooting for in the super bowl?

Packers or Steelers? STEELERS RULE! Even if they did lose. Boo again. And one more quick thing: If you noticed something special in the story, type Lime in your review. Okay, I'm done now. Bye!
